Succesful meeting on new LEGend subtheme on aging, early life subtheme meeting December 17th
Dutch below
On November 12th, a succesful and well-attended Strategic Meeting was held regarding the split into two new research subthemes of LEGend. It took place in the LEVEL building across from the LUMC (photo left). Much valuable input was given on the important points under consideration. These were (1) how to name the subtheme on aging, as well as possibly rename LEGend as a theme , (2) what vision on research this subtheme should have and which topics should fit into its framework, and (3) how to promote and implement these ideas into actionable steps. The new insights will be communicated shortly to those that attended.
The subtheme on early life will also have its own strategic meeting on December 17th 14.00-17.00 in LEVEL. For more information, contact Nadine van der Bent-Valk: n.h.van_der_bent-valk@lumc.nl

Op 12 november vond een succesvolle en goedbezochte strategische bijeenkomst plaats over de opsplitsing van LEGend in twee nieuwe subthema’s. De bijeenkomst werd gehouden in het LEVEL-gebouw tegenover het LUMC (foto links). Er werd waardevolle input geleverd over de agendapunten: (1) hoe het subthema over veroudering zal gaan heten, evenals een mogelijke herbenaming van LEGend zelf, (2) welke onderzoeksvisie dit subthema zou moeten hebben en welke onderwerpen binnen dit kader passen, en (3) hoe deze ideeën te vertalen naar concrete stappen. De nieuwe inzichten worden binnenkort gecommuniceerd aan de aanwezigen.
Het deelthema over vroege levensfasen krijgt op 17 december van 14.00–17.00 uur organiseert een eigen bijeenkomst in LEVEL. Contact hierover gaat via Nadine van der Bent-Valk: n.h.van_der_bent-valk@lumc.nl
